Skruj: Holidate with an Alien
£2.99
He’s wealthy, he’s mean… and he’s about to meet his match!
Life on the alien planet of Londria is difficult for humans, but Bobbi is determined to make the holiday season a special time for her fragile little brother, Tim. Desperate for funds, she’s even willing to take a job working for the coldest, meanest, most hard-hearted alien in the entire city.
Skruj is only interested in accumulating more wealth. He has absolutely no taste for social events—until they stand between him and a new source of income. Since his attendance requires a companion, he reluctantly decides to hire one. Unfortunately, the only female willing to agree to his meager terms is a pathetic—but unexpectedly alluring—human.
Three events. Three nights. How hard could it be?
As the snow begins to fall, neither one of them is prepared for an unexpected attraction and a dose of holiday magic!
This sweet and steamy holiday tale is part of the Holidate With an Alien collection, a collaboration of authors telling holiday tales with a science fiction romance twist. Each book is a standalone, containing its own Happily Ever After. They can be read in any order.

The best variation on the Christmas Carole love the main characters a wonderful read for a cold wet winter day.
by JammieDodger
This was such a lovely story – loosely (and cleverly) based on A Christmas Carol but the science fiction romance version! I loved the journey we took with Bobbi and Skruj as their relationship developed – and there were so many nods to the original story! The three events that stood for the past, present and future; Bobbi’s sickly (but beloved) brother Tim, even the moment when Skruj gives his workforce extra time off over the holidays!
A real delight!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

There is just an added magic to a book which just fits in with your mood and the time of year. This is very much a Christmas book but you can be certain that I will be reading it again during the year hoping to bring back that Christmas spell.
I really love knowing that at the end of it all there will be an HEA. That little nugget of knowledge that makes you view the characters just a little bit differently. Bobbi is wonderful and it is so enjoyable to read how a complete curmudgeon, albeit a not so old one, slowly starts to see things anew. Fantastic!

Honey has done it again with this sweet tale for the holiday period. I loved the mod to an old romantic film but don’t want to spoil it for anyone. Definite must read

Just loved this book, very loosely based on Scrooge but with aliens, the story was wonderfully written and had me smiling all the way through, it left me with a warm happy glow inside. Honey Phillips is one of my favourite author and this book is one of her best.
